Today, on this #MemorialDay, we honor and remember the brave individuals who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country. Let's honor their legacy by shedding light on their transition to civilian life. With around 200,000 individuals leaving the US military each year, this group represents a significant portion of job seekers facing unique challenges. As we commemorate their service, it's crucial to recognize that the transition from soldier to civilian is often misunderstood. With 8.8 million veterans in US employment, comprising 5.8% of the labor force, their contributions are undeniable. However, the lower labor force participation rate for veterans (47.9% vs. 64.7% for nonveterans) highlights the obstacles they encounter in securing employment. Let's support our veterans not just in words, but in actions, by ensuring they have access to the opportunities and resources they deserve. #MemorialDay #Veterans #TransitiontoCivilianLife #JenniferTardyConsulting

In honor of Memorial Day, Lt. Col. (Ret) Kathy Lowrey Gallowitz discusses veterans' unique challenges when transitioning to civilian employment. Jim highlights the valuable skill sets veterans develop during their military service, which often translate well to civilian roles. However, Kathy points out that cultural disconnects, particularly communication styles, can hinder employment opportunities. Employers must recognize and bridge these gaps to fully leverage our veterans' potential. How does your organization support veteran employees in their transition to civilian roles?

The History of Military Transition in the US | USMT 3 Transitioning from military to civilian life has always been a challenge. Early veterans were left with minimal support. Over the years, programs like the GI Bill, and VA initiatives have reshaped how service members reintegrate. Yet, despite progress and abundant resources, many gaps remain. Modern resources like the Post-9/11 GI Bill, TAP, and SkillBridge aim to bridge these gaps but often fall short of preparing veterans for meaningful employment and life after service.
